Tongue & Groove Calculator
Enter the rooms you're covering and this figures the boards, the trim and the beams - at today's prices, as a bill of materials you can send straight to the cart.
Add a row for each wall or ceiling and give its two measurements. Add any windows and doors - they come off the square footage and add their own casing. Then pick your planking and trim style. Choosing between carsiding and log siding first? Read log siding, car siding and tongue and groove compared.
Lineal feet of planking, trim by application in 14-ft sticks, optional ceiling beams, and a priced list you can add to the cart or email to yourself.
Every product here is 1×8 with a 6⅝-inch coverage face (≈1.81 lin ft per sq ft). Waste runs a flat 10%, end-matched boards keep cuts usable, and openings are already deducted. Fasteners are by others: typically brad nails by the contractor. Final takeoff confirmed by our team before any large order ships.

Math, in the open: lineal feet = sq ft × 12 ÷ 6⅝″ face + a flat 10% waste (the team's factor, end-matched boards, and openings already deducted) · base and ceiling/band-board trim run the wall widths in 14-ft sticks of your chosen style · casings run each opening's own perimeter (windows all four sides; doors top + sides at 6′8″) · ceiling beams are decorative add-ons, mounting hardware figured by phone. Fasteners are by others, typically brad nails by the contractor. Final takeoff confirmed by phone before a large order ships.
